Chapter 129: Entering the Enemy's Mansion at Night

"Young master, my subordinates have ascertained that Randall's city guard is none other than Viscount Edwin Picole, who surrendered earlier. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The country of the sun only arranged a squadron of 1,000 soldiers in Randall, and now the city is mainly composed of Edwin's personal soldiers, plus the personal soldiers of other Satyan nobles he recruited before, and now the number of people defending the city is about 20,000. Bruno was reporting to Frank what he had just discovered.

Frank and Princip now live in an inn in Randall, and the three have been in Randall for some time. Previously, this was the territory of the Satya Empire, and in just a few months, most of the soldiers of the Satya Empire were withdrawn, leaving only some old and weak soldiers. In the subsequent Randall attack and defense, the soldiers of the country of Japan were not hindered too much, and Edwin, who had surrendered in the past, pretended to be a soldier who came to support and deceived the city gates, and the soldiers of the country of the sun took advantage of the situation to enter. After that, the soldiers, who had lost the protection of the walls, lasted less than a day before they completely collapsed. After taking Randall, the Kingdom of the Sun withdrew from the city and handed it over to Edwin. What puzzled Frank and the others was that after knowing that the soldiers of Randall City had withdrawn, Prince Schwab did not launch an attack on Randall City, not even a tentative attack, as if he had deliberately thrown away the city.

"Is there only one squadron? I think this could be an opportunity. Frank looked at the simple castle guard building in hand. It was drawn by a few of them in the short time between the withdrawal of the Satyan army and the arrival of the soldiers of the Land of the Sun. Although the next deployment may be different from the previous one, the dark posts in several important places will certainly not change much.

Princip hesitated a little and said, "Young master, although they have few men, we are the same. If something happens, how will I explain it to your father and uncles after I go down? ”

"Uncle, it's okay. I'm no longer a child, I've been on missions with Uncle Ivan since I was a child, and these aristocratic miscellaneous soldiers can't help me. "Because the private soldiers of the nobles of various empires do not participate in regular battles all year round, their combat effectiveness is not even comparable to that of the regular army light infantry. Ten high-ranking assassins may not be able to succeed, but there is no problem in trying to get out of the way.

"Edwin is definitely the first person to surrender, but also took the initiative to lead troops to attack his own people. Taking advantage of the fact that the soldiers of the Land of the Sun are not there, and they have just won the victory, they will definitely let down their guard, and it is a pity not to make a move at this time. Princip looked at the boy with a gritty look in his eyes. I haven't seen him for so many years, but he has indeed grown a lot, maybe it's time to let him go. He is also old, and he can't always be by his side, which will only hinder his growth.

"Uncle, you and Bruno are on the periphery to pick us up, whether we succeed or not, we must leave Randall tonight. Go first near the gates, and we will meet there. Frank turned to Bruno and said, "You go now, let the two of you go to the city lord's mansion to explore the way, and we will do it tonight." Bruno was ordered to retreat.

"Young master, we just connected with the spies from the headquarters. Bert has been found, and Erin and Jingwei have returned. I heard from Wu Xian that this young man is quite good at managing the guild, and you really didn't think wrong about anyone at the beginning. ”

The joy on Frank's face flickered, and he was happier than anyone else to know that Bert was safe, but now that there was just over an hour left before the action, he didn't want his personal emotions to affect what was going on.

Randall's city is infested with crows, and it is not clear how this ferocious bird settled in the city, but in any case there is an occasional hoarse cry from every tree. As an Assassin, the Connector Code is very important, and the bird calls learned by the high-level Assassins are the most similar.

The assassin who had already infiltrated the 1st City Guard let out two crow calls, and several black figures flashed under the wall. Several people gestured to each other, two of them holding them underneath, and the rest of them jumped in with their hands. As soon as he landed, the Assassin hid in the nearby grass, staring around vigilantly. The noisy noise in the distance came into my ears from time to time, and the direction should be the conference hall, and it is estimated that there is a big banquet again. The last Assassin to jump into the wall lay on the wall, grabbed the people below, and everyone infiltrated the City Lord's Mansion. The whole process didn't take more than five minutes.

The infiltrators met with the Assassin hiding on the roof to learn about the situation. They are now on the outskirts of the City Lord's Mansion and are the weakest in their garrison. As Frank expected, the City Lord's Mansion was patrolled by half as many soldiers as before, except for a few normal sentry posts, and most of them were gathered near the council chamber. They were afraid of startling the snake, so they did not touch the secret whistle.

Frank made a gesture, and a wave of ten people split into two teams, each going to the place where there was the most likely outpost. The most feared thing about this kind of assassination is these secret posts who don't know where to hide, and if one of them is not careful, the assassination is likely to turn into a head-on conflict. Assassins are not very good at head-on confrontation, and can become quite dangerous if they are surrounded by them.

Sure enough, in several dark corners, there were fast-reacting sentinels, and one of them jumped forward to avoid the sneak attack a moment before the dagger entered the body. Fortunately, the Assassins were well prepared and missed the blow, slitting his neck with a dagger like an arrow off the string, before he could scream.

The Assassins had touched out a total of five sentry posts, and there were five in a small courtyard, and it seemed that this apparent laxity of defense was only for others to see. Frank had a sudden sense of foreboding, but before he could think about it, a patrol approached. The Dark Sentinel had been hiding in the shadows, so no one would find out even if he died.

Frank shook his head at the men next to him, the patrol had more than a dozen people, and they had outnumbered the Assassins. Coupled with the fact that there were several sentry posts in the distance who could fully see the situation here, this wave of patrolmen had to be let go. According to previous information, the two teams of patrols in the City Lord's Mansion had a five-minute interval, which was enough time to kill the patrolmen.

Everyone held their breath, a group of Assassins was on the roof just now, so it was not a big problem, and the team of Assassins led by Frank was very close to the patrol route at this time, and especially close to the torches. Frank and the others had to bow their heads and pray not to be discovered. Because they had just emerged from the stealth state, they could not enter the stealth state again for a short time. Stealth can no longer be used at this time.
